I would have to say that I too would not want to be coddled in the way I think of that term. I do want my t to challenge my thinking when appropriate, while being supportive of my behaviors I guess.
I've been trying to figure out how to say this or what it really means to me, so I've been sitting with it for a day. Thank you for the food for thought. There is a fine line there, a fine balance. And I do believe while we all fall within a certain number of paradigms of issues.. the interventions needed will be unique to the individual.
